PH
Breathing feels so natural that most people never think about it. The average ãdül† takes approximately 20,000 breaths every day without conscious effort. Your brain automatically controls this process, even while you're sleeping. Every breath delivers oxygen to your cells and removes carbon dioxide from your body.
Your lungs and diaphragm work together continuously to keep you alive. It's one of the most important jobs your body performs—and it never takes a break.
